On the 25th anniversary of the Kosovar Centre for the rehabilitation of Torture Survivors (QKRMT), Osmani has called it heroin and Kosovo's own honour to survive sexual violence during the war.
For 25 years, CRTC has done something that is hard to describe with a speech. They were assured that they can speak before the people of Kosovo, but also before the world and can continue the fight for justice. I want to assure you that support for you will not stop but will continue and we will fight for this case”.
For during these, we have constantly remembered the pain of the past, and above all, there is a determination to seek justice. Sexual violence was also used as a tool by Milosevic's genocide leader so that the following generations could also suffer. History witnessed a center of our people, and this was witnessed by survivors of sexual violence to tell the truth”, she said.
On the other hand, President Osmani confirmed that history does not end up without the perpetrators being brought to justice.
Even with your presence today, if you testify that history does not repeat itself, injustice should not pass in silence and history does not end up bringing perpetrators to justice. I am happy that Kosovo for these years has created mechanisms for each surviving to feel the help of the state. I'm proud of the work Vasfija”, she said.
